Thai food has been my favourite food since I first tasted a green curry in a good Thai restaurant about 6 years ago. Having visited Thailand nearly two years ago I looked high and low for an authentic thai cookbook with a "real" green curry recipe. I must have tried at least 6 different recipes for green curry but none of them tasted quite like the real curry's you can find in good restaurants and in Thailand. I finally found this book and was thrilled as the recipes are genuine Thai recipe's and not anglasised versions of Thai themes.
It is broken up into different regions of Thailand and gives you an idea of how the Thai's eat. Also it uses the ingredients you would find in Thailand which you can get from specialist shops here in the UK but you can substitute ingredients you are unable to find.
You will find everything you could expect to see in a Thai restaurant in this book including the traditional red and green curries, pad thai, spring rolls, broccoli in oyster sauce, all the different fried prawn starters, different rice dishes as well as some extras like chicken with cashew nuts, curried shrimp etc. Overall a fantastic cookbook and my bible when it comes to Thai food.

The only unfavorable thing I can say about this book is that its a real shame to have to expose it to the environment of the typical kitchen. The photographs of the Thai people and countryside make it suitable for the coffee table, but the wide range of recipes within will not let you take this book out of the kitchen for long. Ingredients and instructions are complete and clearly written, making it easy to create tasty dishes that actually resemble the helpful color photos in the book. The recipe for Pad Prew Wan Moo may be the best recipe you'll ever have for Sweet-and-Sour Pork, and the healthiest.

It is a beautiful book, and without fail everything I've cooked has been excellent - very authentic and easy! NB - all the measurements are American. The book has superb pictures and is written in a user friendly way. A little on the large side - i'll have to increase the size of my cook book shelf!
